Artist AB1 Natural Dreadnought Beginner Acoustic Guitar

This guitar is designed with the beginner guitarist in mind. Imagine how much quicker you will learn with a good quality guitar. With a great sound to inspire you and a great design to make it easy to play, you'll breeze through the first stages of your playing. You'll be playing your first song and impressing your friends in no time!

Here are the reasons why:

It has Steel Strings for a great sound. Watch the video above and have a listen to the audio clip to hear how it sounds. Most beginner guitars have nylon strings but unless you want to play classical or spanish music, you may be disappointed. (If you do prefer the sound of a classical/Spanish style guitar we have a range available in our store).

It has a Low String Action (all our guitars are set up at the factory for optimum beginner playing level). String action is the measurement from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string. This is very important because a guitar with a high action is hard to play, a guitar with too low an action will buzz and sound bad. Artist Guitars are set up at the factory for the optimum level for a beginner.

A Truss Rod that allows you to correct for the effects of weather on the guitar help keep the neck straight and the action height of the neck can be adjusted.

Die-cast Machine Heads - This means your guitar will tune quicker, be more stable and stay in tune longer.

Our price is always Lower Than a Retail Store (often by 30-40%) we keep our prices low by only selling our own range of guitars direct from the factory. Our business is built on offering a great value guitar at a great price.

Artist Guitars has been designing guitars for over 10 years and during this time we have developed a great working relationship with our factories to constantly improve the quality and value - we know how to get a great value guitar at truly unbeatable price!

Acoustic Guitar from Artists Guitars

By: on 3 January 2024
I am impressed with the service and information while dealing with Artists Guitars. As for the guitar, for the price it came as no surprised that it has a good balanced tone and is well finished. This is the second instrument I have purchased off Artists Guitars as earlier on I bought a banjo that exceeded all expectations.

Great Quality, Quick and Hassle Free Delivery

By: on 2 August 2022
First guitar I've ever purchased and can attest to the quality of this product. Delivery was surprisingly quick too given I live in a relatively remote and rural area. Usually I'll wait a week or two for items to arrive but this arrived within a few days. 100% recommend this product if like me you're a beginner looking to learn acoustic.

Great beginner guitar . Well made and playable.

Better than “name” brand

By: on 2 May 2019
Cheapest acoustic guitar available, and better than all “Name Brand” budget models, that cost more. Tidy, easy to play, stays in tune, looks great, sounds great. What more could you want.

Nicely built beginners guitar

By: on 15 August 2018
I brought this for my 9yo nephew who was learning on an old nylon stringed guitar with horrible action. I was looking for a smaller guitar with steel strings to last him for the next 2 to 3 years - until a full sized guitar would suit him better. As in any case - transition to a steel stringed guitar is tough but ultimately worthwhile. The action on the guitar is quite good and it has a nice tone. I’m very happy with this purchase - I would suggest you also invest in a extra set of strings. Fitting nylon coated elixir strings to this guitar would be the icing on top for this well built entry level guitar.
